Police in Birmingham are hunting for two men who robbed a teenager and forced him to take part in a terrifying drive through city streets.

CCTV images have been released in an appeal for witnesses to the incident which occurred at around 3am on January 26.

The 18-year-old was parked and waiting for a friend on Gas Street when he was approached by two men.

They asked for a lift and when he refused they threatened him and forced their way into the car. He was made to drive to Anderton Road in Small Heath where they assaulted him and then stole cash, a mobile phone and his coat before walking towards Golden Hillock Road.

DC Kelly Hill, from Birmingham Central police station, said: “I would like to appeal to anyone who was around Gas Street and who noticed these men to call me.

“If anyone can identify them please get in touch. This was a particularly nasty ordeal for the young man - fortunately he was not seriously hurt.”

Anyone who has any information that could help the investigation is urged to call Birmingham police on 101. Alternatively people can leave information anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
